Research Alerts
Alerts are automated notifications that can keep you up to date with the literature in a given field. Many databases send users an email or updated RSS feed when a new book or article comes out that matches any search criteria the user chooses. Additionally, users can receive an alert every time a new book or article cites a particular source.
Individual databases may refer to these services as “alerts” or “saved searches.”Some may require the creation of a user profile
Accredited Journals
In South Africa, only articles published in accredited journals are considered for subsidy. Journals included in the DHET list below are considered “accredited” and will be taken into account for government subsidy and NRF evaluation.
Please note that the DHET list provided by the UJ Research Office is the ONLY source to be consulted. If anyone is not sure about a journal it is best to contact the Research Office: Reetha Nundulall, Tel. +27 11 559 6598; email: [email protected]
